The SSH client that knows your repositories.

Hosts in groups with a colour and tags, each knowing its user, port, key or password, the operating system behind it, a terminal theme of its own, the environment to set and the snippet to run on connect. Hop through jump hosts in a chain, or go out through an HTTP or SOCKS proxy. Import your SSH config, or fetch the servers in your AWS, DigitalOcean, Azure and Hetzner Cloud accounts.

• Groups and tags
• ProxyJump chains
• HTTP and SOCKS proxies
• Run on connect
• Per-host themes
• Import ~/.ssh/config
• Cloud import

Generate Ed25519, ECDSA or RSA keys in the app, import the ones you have, or sign with a FIDO2 security key or Touch ID. Certificates and passwords become identities you attach to hosts instead of typing them. Agent forwarding per host, known hosts checked and kept, and the vault locked behind a password you can leave in the system credential store.

• Ed25519, ECDSA, RSA
• FIDO2 and Touch ID

Local, remote and dynamic rules saved against a host, started and stopped with a switch, from the palette, the Activity bar or the BranchBay tray. Rules can start with the host, and the editor draws the path a connection takes from this computer through the intermediate host to its destination.

• Local, remote, dynamic
• Autostart with the host
• Activity bar
• Start from BranchBay

Fast, GPU-drawn, with the themes you know from BranchBay plus a set of its own, each host free to pick one. Tide and Rosé Pine Dawn for daylight, Ember for production boxes. Addresses in the output are links. Mosh hosts reconnect when you move networks, sessions can be logged, and the side panel keeps snippets, history and the theme picker a click away.

• Mosh
• Serial ports
• Light and dark themes
• Session logs
• Broadcast input

Start typing and a popup offers matching snippets and commands from your history. Return inserts one, the arrow keys search them. Laya, a small classifier that runs on your computer, files snippets into categories such as Containers, Git and Services, and a snippet can be tied to the hosts it belongs to. Cmd+F searches the terminal output.

• Autocomplete
• Laya categories
• Snippets per host
• Terminal search

Active port forwards first, then recent hosts and the forwards you could bring online. Type to search every host, or type user@host to connect once without saving anything. A global shortcut opens it over any application.

• Hosts and forwards
• One-off user@host

Drag a tab onto a side of a terminal and the two share a workspace, split that way. Nest splits, drag the dividers, maximise one pane, lay the set out as columns, rows or a grid, name and colour the workspace, and tear it off into a window of its own. Workspaces come back on launch.

• Drag to split
• Columns, rows, grid
• Maximise a pane
• Tear-off windows
• Restored on launch

This computer on the left, a host on the right. Upload, download, rename and delete from the right-click menu, filter either side by name, and reach the files that need root through a sudo-elevated path without a second login.

• Local and remote panes
• Right-click actions
• Elevated with sudo

An Amazon S3 or Cloudflare R2 connection opens in the same SFTP tab as a host does. Browse prefixes, see the storage class of every object, type a path straight into the bar, and download, upload, rename or delete from the right-click menu.

• Amazon S3
• Cloudflare R2
• Storage classes

Saved connections grouped like your hosts, with the engine, address and credentials kept in the keychain. Any connection can go through an SSH host from the vault: BranchShell opens a forward on the host and connects through it. MySQL, MariaDB, PostgreSQL, SQLite, SQL Server, ClickHouse, Redshift, Turso, Redis, MongoDB, InfluxDB, DynamoDB, CloudWatch, S3 and R2.

• Through an SSH host
• Secrets in the keychain
• Fourteen engines

Open a table and filter it with a WHERE bar, sort with ORDER BY, page through the rows and export them as CSV. The console runs the statement under the cursor, a selection, or several you pick, each with its own result tab. Modify table edits columns and indexes and shows the SQL it will run, and full-text search looks through every column of every table.

• WHERE and ORDER BY bars
• Query console
• Modify table
• Full-text search
• CSV export

Cmd+J opens the Activity bar under the terminal: every running forward with what it listens on and where it goes, every open session, and the problems that need you, each a click from the thing it concerns.

• Port forwards
• Sessions
• Problems

The same remappable shortcuts as BranchBay, with a Settings page that searches by action or by the keys themselves and spots clashes. Global shortcuts bring BranchShell forward or open the palette over any app, and a set can be exported and imported on your next machine.

• Global shortcuts
• Search by keys
